Keep an eye out for Rain Checks. You can always ask an employee if it's "in-stock" at other Targets (despite it being ins stock at the store you are at) and if they skip a store you know about, go to that store and see if there are rain checks available. If not, ask for one! It's probably a lot less "return fraudulent."

For some weird reason, the page doesn't exist. I searched for the calculator and it popped up. But upon clicking it I got a "cannot find product/page" message. So here is the search result so you all can quick look and see it.

Regarding the duration, I'm not familiar with Wal*Mart since there are only two around me for every 5 Target stores I could go to that are closer (no joke) but sales typically last a Sunday through Saturday (7-day) time frame. Price Cuts last a bit longer, usually two weeks to a few months. So, I wouldn't get yuor hopes up. Office Depot has a similar sale but the calculators are like $104 for this week only. :/

There are two types of people in the world: those who can extrapolate data from incomplete data

The first few Targets will open in Quebec province soon (they took over Zellers leases last Fall, but all Zellers stores that closed beforehand became Walmarts). I am curious if they'll carry the 84+ C Silver Edition, because no other store here (Walmart, Staples, Best Buy, Future Shop) seems to do yet.

I'm betting that if Staples decides to carry it at the start of school year (I won't get my hopes up, because they only started carrying the TI-84 Plus and 84 Plus Silver Edition in 2006, two years after its release), they'll probably have a sale too.

Unlikely. They're not even carrying the Prizm this year, iirc. When they had the Prizm last year it was only for the Back to School/College season. :/ Which sucks because students actively buy these throughout the year.

As I showed in the pictures that I sent to comic, the Target where I took that photo also carried the TI-83 Plus (!), the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, TI-89 Titanium, and two different Casio 9xxx models.

So, are you going to wait until it's $50? Less? It's $40 less than MSRP which is an amazing sale for anything on the market. Most sales are a few dollars off. The regular TI-84+SE is still 124.99, so more Color versions will sell because of this. It's a smart push by TI.

It's also good for us, because it will bring us more TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition users (and I think we're doing a good job of keeping on top of the TI-84+CSE innovation). Lionel: In terms of raw CPU power and specs, absolutely. Pedagogically, I feel it's better-suited to non-college students than the TI-Nspire.

I already have one at $0
But seriously, I don't think I would have bought one this year, even at $90, and then, only because I'm the maintainer of libti*/gfm/tilp (though I have done pretty little on those in the past few months - I have worked on other stuff).
